Literally no one gives a shit what you do. There are thousands of students doing their own thing, and unless you are hanging out with all of them, I guarantee you no one is going to care whether you go downtown or not.

This makes me realize that I hate most of Polygon's fanbase who acts like they (the fans themselves) are completely above reproach and never make mistakes, but the moment someone that they're supposed to support is accused of doing something wrong, they immediately throw him under the bus without even waiting to hear what official investigations uncover.

It's these people who on one hand decry the witchhunting of things like GamerGate, but are so eager to take up torches and pitchforks the moment their fave white boy supposedly wrongs them.

And from what we've seen so far, it's just bad flirting. Is it creepy that Nick picked DMs from fans much younger than him to respond to? I guess, but so far what we've seen is all consensual even if it's a little weird and gross. I understand there are further accusations that he knowingly hit on underage girls, but we've seen no real evidence thus far and those affected need to be in touch with the Vox Media investigation team (or THE POLICE), not just shout things from behind Twitter accounts and stir the pot.

But I guess I'm stupid and every man who has ever flirted with me and who I flirted with back should have his life ruined. I'm in no way mad at the women who posted actual receipts, since they've have all admitted thus far (from what I've seen) that it wasn't sexual harassment and that it was consensual, mostly that he was just creepy in his texting. Also, can we stop acting like Nick wields so much influence?? He wields as much influence as the next reviewer from a gaming site, of which there are dozens meaning there are so many reviewers. Obviously if you're a small indie dev reviews are everything, but at the end of the day he's one man in an industry of thousands. He might tell a couple friends that so and so is a bitch and to not review their game well, but honestly, is that a real concern? Maybe? But probably not. Even if it did mean he reviewed your game badly, Nick isn't the leader of a game reviewing cult, and as we've seen from his friends' and co-workers' reactions to the events unfolding, they are completely capable to think for themselves and aren't under some sort of Nick Robinson spell of influence.

At any rate, if those affected desire any sort of punitive actions to befall Nick beyond his current suspension, they WILL have to come forward and provide the Vox Media investigation team (or the police if it's really that bad) with receipts and proof. While they should not be expected to provide them to the public at large, they DO have to provide them to official investigations in private if they expect action to be taken. Sorry, that's how our justice system works and should work in all areas of judgment and punishment. In this country you are innocent until proven guilty, and it is on the accusers to provide official investigation teams with said proof of guilt. The internet seems to think its guilty until proven innocent, and that is simply absurd and untrue.

I understand that the victims of sexual harassment are often unfairly treated with disdain and threatened when they bring matters into the light, but I'm sorry, the only way to fight the stigma is to be unafraid and come forward. Dealing with this kind of stuff, depending on the severity, can be traumatic enough on its own, but the only way you can prevent it from happening in the future and prevent another person from feeling the way you do, is to come forward, not necessarily to the entire internet, but the people with the direct ability to take action against the guilty party.

Where have you seen evidence of this. I don't mean hard receipts, but like, any sort of tweet from someone involved implying it. I've read this elsewhere, but it just sounds to me like people jumping to conclusions because he is a game reviewer who was possibly hitting on multiple female devs. I'm not saying that the female devs wouldn't have had a right to assume he would give them bad reviews if they turned him down, but I haven't seen anyone so far imply that he stated as much concretely in any exchanges.

That's gorgeous. Holy crap. I'm by myself alone in a hotel room, but I was struck by how beautiful that color is that I actually commented aloud to myself. What brand is that? I would love to add some to my orange dye as those always pull too red.

It similar to you saying in English, "I knew that that happened" or "he had had surgery." We say it all the time and only when looked at when written and really thinking about it, do we noticed the oddity. Yet as native speakers we understand perfectly and don't give it a second thought when speaking or listening.

I blame my linguistics background for that! Paragraphs upon paragraphs for the tiniest syntactical, phonological, semantic, etc. element And now I'm trying to pursue a MA in Germanic Linguistics so it will only get worse!

The article is discussing the Spicer and Trump's administration banning news outlets from the press briefing, which is what the first sentence states, so by starting the second with "dagegen" we now know that it will be contrary to this in some way.

An especially tricky thing here to recognize it that aber is not being used to introduce a new main clause, rather as part of the description of the "Medien" and to further contrast these news outlets with those that were not allowed in to the briefing. The comma and the aber confuse us here, because as language learners we're taught these methods to identify and break down separate clauses, but that isn't the case here.

Also, I notice that you expected the subject of this erroneous second clause to be "der Regierung" which, I should mention is actually dative (someone correct me if otherwise) and is actually suggesting "to the government." It's part of the extended adjective phrase describing the "Medien." As in, "to the government the news outlets are generally favorable" but not so directly.

So knowing that this sentence should be contrary to the one preceding it on banning other news outlets, and that it is only one single independent clause, and that "der Regierung" is not the subject, we can read it somewhat like:

"However, much smaller news outlets, favored by the government/administration were allowed in to the briefing by Trump's speaker Sean Spicer."

So, tl:dr the verb is wurden (inf. werden) and the participle is zugelassen.

$10/hr at transit during training, 10.25/hr out of training and then the next raise after 30wks of at least 15 hrs each week you get 10.97. 11.94 after another 30wks of 15hrs each and then 12.87 is the cap at an additional 30wks of 15hrs.

$30 seems alright considering it's 13 issues. And there's 24 overall in that run, so, 13 is kind of large for a trade, but gets it all out of the way quickly. Maybe they've decided to reprint it because the reprinting of Dixon's Nightwing is doing well enough? Plus, I love Miller's run.

I'm less convinced that she was actively suppressing said traits, but rather that she enjoyed the life she led with Richard, but like she kept restating, life just wasn't the same without him. Obviously that enthusiasm and showmanship still existed, considering all the parties she loved organizing and attending, but just in a different way. After Richard died she lost the man she could share all those experiences with and at the same time the stuff you used to do with a lost loved one is a lot of the time tarnished to you following their death, so it's just too painful. I would also posit that his death and would obviously make one extremely sad and not only does it maybe tarnish what you once loved, it begins to make you question what you loved about it aside from having shared it with said loved one.

She loved Richard and loved the life she led with him, I still feel it's kind of insulting to Richard to assume that she actively chose to be another person for him. People are complex and within any one of us is the ability to live a multitudes of lives, and I think that's what we see with Emily. As Mrs. Richard Gilmore she is part of a pair with separate interests, but still a shared life, but as a widow she has a chance to find a new way to live her life that can bring her enjoyment like she once found with Richard.
